Ingredients
- 3-4 kaffir lime leaves
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemongrass
- 1 tablespoon galangal
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Thai basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 F. Roast the galangal, kaffir lime and lemongrass for 5 minutes.
- Add cumin seeds, coriander seeds and black peppercorns and roast again for 5 minutes.
- Add the Thai basil, desiccated coconut and red pepper flakes and roast again for 5 minutes.
- Let cool and transfer to a blender jar along with the remaining ingredients.
- Blend until you get a slightly coarse mixture. Use immediately or store for later.
Notes
- Make sure you let the spices cool down completely before you blend them. This will prevent clumping.
- If you don't want to turn on the oven, you can also choose to dry roast the ingredients in a pan over medium heat, stirring continuously to ensure they don't burn.
- Make sure you use the best quality and freshest ingredients here, especially the whole spices. This will ensure every bit of your seasoning packs in the maximum flavor punch.
